Thanks Tony - you got that right! Thanks again. You know where to come for advice on arts pojects!

Well guys - it cost me £285. I watched the guy checking everything and it did turn out to be the gas valve. I know this sounds as if I'm a nightmare for being suspicious, but when he went to get the new valve, I watched him bring it in - in a new pristine box and and while I was popping in and...

thanks for that. Namsag. I gave different versions because I was working off what I'd been told by friend who is staying in flat, but am off to flat myself today and at least - thanks to you all - I have an idea of best and worse case scenarios. Best is muck in jets, etc and worse is gas valve...

PS Guys - cos the boiler hasn't been used for a few months I'm wondering if some sediment, much has made a solenoid or valve stick a bit. But I'm just a girl so will politely suggest when plumber arrives - coz what do I know? But from your comments - I'm hoping evidence points in that direction...

This is what I was wondering, but don't know how you get to the jets to clean 'em or what you do it with. Its brilliant being able to ask you guys about this - and not to feel too stupid. I'm quite capable with other things - honest. Well, at least capable for a girl. I 've done projects...

THANKS GUYS. Here's one of my art pieces. I imagine you all look like this

I dunno - none of it made much sense - and dunno if I feel guilty about having to get someone else, when I couldn't get hold of him. There seem tobe so many different pricing systems! But I'm the same as a freelance artist - in my case: a charge for a meeting, a different daily rate depending...

I know - the Potterton Heateam deal is £299, spread over in payments. So , as I understand it, if you have a fault, you join up, get repaired and have cover for 1 year. So, if my fault is anything in that price region it may be worth doing. By the way, the first plumber i mentioned in this...

If the estimate is for anything approaching £250, I will do it. How long between booking and engineer arriving?

Thanks Guys - I am suspicious. He said the part would in today or tomorrow and was supposed to have phoned but have heard nothing. He doesn't answer his phone or get return my messages. So have been phoning around again. Just spoke to a much more pleasnt and straightforward guy who said he would...

Thanks guys - it seems it wasn't firing up. Been having MASSIVE problems with the flat. I'm not living there as I was selling it but freeholder came up with massive bill for repairs to building, which he said I contribute £11,500! Lost my buyer in process of sorting it out and have had to let...

Potterton Baxi Combi 80e gas valve Corgi engineer came out and says gas valve - has ordered for Thurs or Fri and says total with labour will be £165 ish - sounds reasonable. Hope it cures problem of not firing up. If that turns out not to be the problem, what is my position?

Thanks for your help - have researched around to get enough info not to have anyone 'cowboy' me - if you know hat I mean. Corgi plumber cme yesterday - £25 - call out. Says gas valve needs replacing - which I thought it might be as pilot is on but boiler fails to fire up properly. He was looking...

It's a Potterton Baxi Combi 80e. Last time we had this prob there was work going on outside as there is now. It happened before after gas had been temporarily cut off in street for repairs. Could this have a bearing.

potterton baxi combi 80e won't ignite - had poblem last year. Must get it done today. Anyone trustworthy in Hastings?

I hope it's something simple and cheap Thanks

Potterton Boiler fires up for few seconds then dies away. Had same problem last year, but it corrected itself - so loathe to get in engineer I can't afford to fix something minor. Gone through the firing up procedures but no joy. Last time it happened, there was work being done on pipes outside...
